Sipadan Island

Sipadan is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, rising 600m from the seabed. It is in the Celebes Sea, east of the town of Tawau and off the coast of Semporna, Sabah. It was formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct volcanic cone, and took thousand of years to develop. Sipadan is located at the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin, the center of one of the richest marine habitats in the world. More than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species have been classifield in this ecosystem.

Sipadans’ Secrets

The natural treasures of this island are its greatest assets. Here, you can still find wild deer in secluded coves. Dugongs, a cosin of the American manatees were known to swim the tides, Now they are hardly ever seen but are still held as one of Semporna’s secrets.

Diving Sipadan’s reefs, Jacques Couteau was spellbound. “Go to Sipadan to see the schooling barracuda, to Mabul to see the seahorses and the erodes reefs of Kapalai to marvel at the detritus-like leaf fish” divers were told. Still today you will find turtles nesting under your beach hut on stits and giant coconut crabs climbing the branches of a coconut palm. It has been said thet the number of creatures on these reef surpass that of the tropical rainforest.

Now it is time to show the world that Sipadan deserved to be ranked as “One Of The Seven Wonders Of Natural World”. Vote Sipadan. Do your part to support this campaign. Malaysia Boleh…
